Does God Know Everything? Does He Know the End of a Thing from the Beginning?
1) Direct Answer
Yes. God knows everything, and He knows the end from the beginning.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The Bible says, “I am God… declaring the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:9-10).
- “Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world” (Acts 15:18).
- “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him” (Hebrews 4:13).
- “God is greater… and knoweth all things” (1 John 3:20).
- “Thine eyes did see my substance… in Thy book all my members were written” (Psalm 139:16).
- “Whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate” (Romans 8:29), and He “works all things after the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1:11).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
Now notice, prophecy proves it. God doesn’t guess—He declares. He is the Alpha and Omega, not learning as He goes. You see, He foreknew and therefore could predestinate, choose, and guide history without being the author of sin. He can set life and death before man, let man make a choice, and still know exactly how it will turn out because He saw it before the world began.
4) Reinforcing Statement
It’s not uncertainty with God. He’s the one true God, all-knowing, and He has already seen the finish before the first step was taken.

Why little Bethlehem?
58-1228 §13
Of all of the places that is in Palestine! And there is so many great cities, and its localities, cities that are seemingly much more known in the lore of history, and better fortified, bigger cities. Why should God choose little Bethlehem to be the birthplace of His Son? There is many that are greater. And for instance, the historical lore of Jerusalem, the proud Jerusalem, the capital of all of it, and it's one of the largest cities of Palestine. And then we wonder why God would pick on that little bitty town of...
Things that are to be
65-1205 §19
Your birth here was preplanned. I guess you believe that. Every one of you knows that our birth was preplanned. Did you know that your being here never originated just at a myth or a thought? Everything was all preplanned by God before the foundation of the world that you'd be here. The infinite God knowed... To be infinite, He had to know every flea that ever would be in the earth and how many times it would bat its eyes. That's infinite. See? Our little minds cannot fathom what infinite means. The infinite God. H...
Christ is identified the same in all generations
64-0415 §34
Now how could it be? God, in the beginning, lotted His Word, so much for each age. That's the reason He knew the end from the beginning. In each age there was a--a prophecy lotted for that age. Usually, the churches, and so forth, and the groups of people, all had it so twisted up, until He would send a prophet on the scene. Now, we know the Bible said, that, "God, in sundry times, in divers manners spake to the fathers through the prophets, in this last days through His Son, Jesus Christ." Never, the unchanging Go...
The Voice of the Sign
64-0313 §4
To the newcomers, this week we have tried to show that God from the beginning knowed the end. That makes Him infinite. If He isn't infinite He isn't God. And He's got to be omnipotent ... omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent to be God: all power, knows all things, and all places, and knows the end from the beginning. If He doesn't, then He isn't God. So there isn't nothing really out-of-cater. It's us. But nothing in God's Word---it's ticking just like a clock. And when that hour comes for it to happen, the words...

We're at the end time. You know that. There's an atomic bomb hanging yonder in Russia with your names on it, right here in Saskatoon; you know that. So does the rest of the world know it. There'll be annihilation one of these days. You know it's not far off. It's just the hand of God a holding it. What's going to happen? What did our president say the other night? We want to keep strong, let our aggressor know that whenever he drops a bomb he's going to destroy himself, too. Sure, planes and great tanks, and great...
